The magnetic hill that defies gravity. Not many people know about Magnetic Hill, but it is probably one of the unique facts about India. Magnetic Hill outrightly defies gravity. Located around 30km from Leh, this is actually a part of the road of Leh-Kargil highway. Instead of rolling downhill, your vehicle will start going uphill. All this will happen when your car is neutral. Many theories run amok, explaining this strange phenomenon. One scientific theory concludes that the hill has a strong magnetic force that pulls the vehicles downward. Another theory suggests the presence of an optical illusion.
